Synopsis
From T.C. Christensen, director of the sensational pioneer film, 17 Miracles,
comes the heroic true story of a simple man who was called to do the work of
angels. Ephraim’s Rescue relates the story of Ephraim Hanks: a rescuer of the
Martin Handcart company.

Follow Ephraim as his adventures lead him
to join the LDS Church and ultimately to one of the most heroic rescues in
American history. With a unique desire to help and strengthen others, Ephraim
learns that each choice we make can prepare us for what lies ahead. He discovers,
through it all, that decisions determine destiny.

This would be a great honor to go and watch a film made by T.C. Christensen. I love his style and does a awesome job from previous films he has made. He does a great job of staying true to the books into films. Plus who doesn't like to get free movie tickets. It would be a nice gift for our anniversary. todd.nunley@comcast.net
